This site has existed in various forms for several years, starting with static pages edited in vi, and then moving through my own perl scripts to end up as a PHP-Nuke site. In January 2003 I merged the Al-manac into Globecord, a goofy site that I run with some friends. Last fall I setup Geeklog to start playing around with another application. Globecord has been customized a fair amount, but I wanted a stand-alone place to post thoughts on technical issues.

A couple of recent stories (1, 2) on Slashdot piqued my curiousity in open-source CMSes again. Today I installed WordPress, and start yet another incarnation of my online presence.
